Microsoft aggressive with Windows 7 push, openly admits defeat on Vista

Put the last nail in the Vista coffin.  Windows 7 is on the fast track.  At least that’s what I glean from Ballmer’s CES talk yesterday.  The bottom line? You’ll be able to download the beta of Windows 7 starting tomorrow by clicking this link.

The wording of the announcement is tantamount to admitting defeat on Vista:

Over the past few years, you’ve asked us to make some changes to Windows. We listened closely. Now it’s time to share an early look at how we’ve used your feedback. Windows 7 is faster, more reliable, and makes it easier to do what you want.

We sent out our company newsletter today. Katie, my CRM manager, wrote a piece about Windows 7.  I don’t know why this release has so much buzz. Maybe it’s because Microsoft has returned to sane version numbering.  Or maybe it’s because they’ve kind of become the underdog, what with Google and Apple trundling all over what’s left of their Windows XP ego.

In any event, I’m actually looking forward to Windows 7 beta tomorrow. See you in the download queue.
